What will I do when I run out of words to express my love for you?
Will I be consumed by my sorrow if it has nowhere to go?
Will my heart stop whispering your name
Will I stop imagining your weight in place of others
Will my torment end
Will other lovers haunt my dreams
Will I give myself freely to them
Will I love unbound and bright as fire
Will my heart sing of joy
Or will I disappear
curling like black smoke into the ether
silent ruin my comfort
cold longing my grave.
While you, my sweetest muse
my beautiful love
go on, unaware, unmoved
by the diminishing of my light.
